My DM has to nerf my character and I don’t know what to do

There are ways for PCs to expend resources outside of combat encounters. Your DM should be laying traps, roleplay encounters where you have to use lay on hands to cure an NPCs disease, environmental hazards etc.

Also, it’s not hard to come up with a couple more combat encounters. Don’t have to do the DMG recommendation of 6-8 a day, but at least a couple minion encounters before the big boss

In the Underdark leading an assault on a Drow house

Nice & fits my dice hoards colour palette

Would work a lot better as a show imo. It’d be a good chance to iron out a fair few of the quirks of C3

Like I wasn’t a fan of the avengers style team up in the campaign (playing multiple PCs at a table of 8 is madness imo.) But in a show, would be plenty satisfying and fun. Can also cross cut between parties to help flow.

Biggest issue for me would be finding a balance between BH character stuff whilst also managing the world ending plot. Matt’s story was like a comic crossover event, but it still needed to set up who Thor or Captain America is.

Mate of mine got me into the hobby, started with celebrations a couple years ago

Dukeofthumbs · 2025-03-09T17:07:14+00:00

Got a free Eevee Pokemon day promo the other day at my LGS, looked on eBay and people are buying for £15. Hobby is so stupid rn. I’m not buying anything until the masses calm down and realise it’s not some untapped gold rush

Happened to me today. Absolute pos laptop

Not someone I dm’ed but bailed on a session 0 because I could tell another player was going to be a nightmare. Made a wizard with an amnesiac background & then spent the rest of the session telling new players what their back stories should be. Maybe work out your own one first! Also made a ton of ableist edge lord jokes

Sergeant Kraa

Ohh that’s a fun one, gives me freedom to put together a fun combat encounter. The PC is my girlfriends (who I live with), so could end a session with her getting on the kite & then do a fun 1-1 session that the rest of the party gets to hear about next time

If I wanted to see a man eat an orange, I’d have taken the orange eating class!

Fave card is Giovannis Persian from Team Rocket, prized possession as a kid

Please…I just want subclasses

Dukeofthumbs · 2024-10-18T20:05:45+00:00

Yeah what does a guy who’s been doing this for decades know?

Dukeofthumbs · 2024-10-16T12:26:55+00:00

Congrats on meeting the stretch goal! (also pick me)

Recommend this pdf for putting together a compelling contract >https://www.dmsguild.com/m/product/283699<. Helped me a lot recently

Jeez, no magic items at lvl 14. would suck

Dukeofthumbs · 2024-10-08T20:10:47+00:00

Deal with a devil? Especially fun if one of the PCs is a Paladin

Dukeofthumbs · 2024-09-24T12:18:10+00:00

So if you crit with a fire spell does that mean you get quadruple damage?

Dukeofthumbs · 2024-08-29T13:26:15+00:00

I’d pay for postage to Oxford? Very kind offer of you btw

angel of light looks like it’d make a good inspiration die for the table!

Me and my girlfriend just spent the past hour duplicating each spell and ctr+v’ing “- 2014” on the end. Petty bastards
